I just made my son turn off Sponge Bob Edit

My son (5) and I are "taking turns." I watch a show, then he picks one, lol. So his pick was Spongebob. That didn't fly. I made him turn it off and pick something else. He said, "MawMaw (Grandma) lets me watch it." I said, "Is MawMaw here?" He said, "No, I have to change it, huh?" LOL I was like, "Yes." So he picked Caillou, which doesn't make me NEARLY as crazy, LOL. So, now we are watching Cailllou. I can't wait until my turn so I can have Big Bang Theory back. ETA: He has NEVER been allowed to watch Spongebob. This is NOT a new rule as of today because I suddenly don't like the show. His entire life, DH and I have agreed that it is inappropriate and he is not to watch it. He KNOWS this rule and chose to break it. Rather than taking his TV privilege entirely, I gave him the opportunity to find something else. Not really sure how this post became such drama. I was sharing innocent Sunday morning fun. You women are WAY more upset over this than the 5 year old who was the "victim" in the situation.

LOL You women are crazy. Who knew a stupid yellow sponge could evoke such riot?

I can't, it was in Parents magazine...why are you getting so defensive of a tv show? It's quite funny actually.

Overly Aggressive Much??? Wow. You showed me, huh?? (Not.)

I'm questioning your claim about "attention problems", which gives you an excellent opportunity to site your sources & leave the links to the STUDIES (plural!) that you're referring to... Attacking me (while conveniently leaving out FACTS - which you claim to be true) seems to indicate that YOU'RE the one who's "pulling shit out of your ass". Just sayin'...

So, SITE YOUR SOURCES!!

I dislike spongebob greatly. Studies have been done that show it can cause attention problems.

I never let mine watch Bart Simpson, it took two years to find a decent Bart Simpson T shirt after "everybody had one". It was not a matter of taking turns, I did not like the sassy mouth content. I also destroyed some fighting Nintendo games and some CD's that I did not like the music. He turned out to be an upstanding, moral young man.
